A faction identifying as the Aggrieved National Builders Corps (NABCo) Association is urging the Ministry of Finance to disburse their outstanding 9-month arrears by August 31st or face the consequences.
The group’s leadership contends that despite numerous attempts to secure payment from the government, they have not received their owed funds.
In a conversation with Citi News, David Petterson, the National Convenor of the Aggrieved NABCo Beneficiaries, conveyed that their members have been enduring unbearable hardships. He cautioned that if the government does not respond to their appeals, they will initiate a series of demonstrations.
Petterson stated, “We started this last year, and we have been hitting on the doors of government and wrote to the Finance Minister on two occasions to pay us but to no avail. We have written to CHRAJ and others but still nothing happened so we are pleading with the government to release our monies to us else we will stage a nationwide demonstration.”
“We are pleading with the government to pay us by the end of August else we are hitting the road because I have been receiving calls from members who complain of starvation, medical difficulties, broken homes, and a host of others.”
